SATURDAY EVENING, OCTOBER 1.
CIVIL SERVICE COMMISSIONER oDERLY is


on recent record as saying:
"rhe opinion is not to be tolerated ihat
because man occupies place in the cias
slice. civil service he must therefore surfen
d.r his right to take an interest in the poll
tics of the country. No good citizen will do
81. and no degree of activity in effort to ad'
vance the interest of the party opposed to
the administration should, provided his
partisan activity in no way interieres with
his public duties. render insecure in the ser
vice of tho Government the position OF any
person who does not occupy place The as
charge of the duties of which affects puo'c
pervice."
Aud yet the same identical man now says
that a democrat holding federal oihce'
who belongs to democratic club in Wash
ington, is o violator Of the penal code OF the
civil service law, and is justly liable to pun
ishment therefor. What the Commissioner
now says is probably correct, according to
tho civil service law, and, if so, the duty OF
repeating that law as soon % possible is the
more imperative.

The Decay of Iron,

Boston journal
Mr.. David Stiles OF Middleton, who
has been q practical worker in iron
with his own hands Tor more than fifty
years, has written an interesting let.
ter to the Salem Gazette, in which he
shows by observation that iron rots
from age. He says that thecontinual
jar has the effect to weaken the tensile
strength OF iron, which statement he
illustrates by saying that the step oI
a carriage when new may be bent back
and forth without breaking, but after
n few years service it will break, no
matter how well preserved. Thesame
loss OF tensile strength is noted in car.
riage springs. The poorest may be
safely warranted for year, but even
after that short time they begin to
break, and those OF the hest quality
will break after years oi constant and
trying service. Tie writer hns found
that old crowbars, made of the best
Swedish iron and used by the early
settlers OF New England. have become
SO rotten THAT they could not ln weld
ed when broken and had an offensive
smell when the welding heat was an.
piled. Formerly all iron was wrought
by the trip hammer, which scattered
all the brittle and worthless material,
but the substitution Of the rollers
makes it possible to run bara through
which contain the poorest stock. Iron
made from newly mined ore, even If OF
poorer quality, is safer than that in,
to the manufacture OF which scrapiron
Is introduced, which is now imported
in large quantities. The writer, as a
practical iron worker, expresses the
opinion that, as this scrap iron may
be the old English bar iron, which six
ty years ago was of little value except
or heavy ties, it is unfit for truss or
suspension bridges.

Origin of Oscillation.

why kissing was so popular, what its
benefit, and who its inventor, replied;
"Ah, madame, had you lover you

kisses of mutual lovers give infinite
satisfaction. AS to it's invention it is
certain that nature was it's author,
and it began with the first courtship.' u
1t seems difficult to conceive of q time
when kissing was unknown in this isl.
and, and yet Scandinavian tradi.
tion states that kissing was first in.
troduced into England by Rowena the
beautiful daughter OF Hengist. In Ed.
ward the Tvs reign it was usual for a
guest, both on his arrival and at his
departure, to kiss his hostess and all
the ladies OF her family. Again. ir

GENERAL NEWS NOTES.


An important land case was argued in
the supreme court OF the United States
before Gen. Bullard OF Saratoga, N. Y,
who represents title for n section OF
land derived under IL patent granted
n pre-empton settlement made in
1862 in the disputed Des Moines river lands
of Iowa. Although this suit involves but
one section, there is large tract OF land
with titles in dispute embarrassing all of
that territory covered by the bill which
passed the last congress to quiet titles to
lands in the Des Moines River land district,
and which was vetoed by President Cleve.
land. Gen. Billiard argued;
the railroad embraced more than hall a
million acres, and provided that company
should receive lands by way OF i1emnity in
lien OF such ns had been disposed ot with.
in the limits OF tho grant. The company
received 297 900 acres OF indemnity lands,
but in this ease are contesting title to a
section within the limits OF the original
grant.
j. L. Doncourhe OF Fort Dodge, Iowa,
submitted printed argument for the
railroad company. President Cleveland
in his veto to the bill to quiet titles to
these lands, stated that the question OF
ownership was one for the Judiciary instead
OF congress to settle, and so the decision
OF the court in this case will be awaited
with interest by the hundreds OF settlers
